Cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia
Cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia (also known as borrelial lymphocytoma,[1] lymphadenosis benigna cutis, lymphocytoma cutis, pseudolymphoma, pseudolymphoma of Spiegler and Fendt,[1] sarcoidosis of Spiegler and Fendt,[1] Spiegler–Fendt lymphoid hyperplasia,[1] and Spiegler–Fendt sarcoid) refers to a groups of benign cutaneous disorders characterized by collections of lymphocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells in the skin.[2]:725 Conditions included in this groups are:[2]:725
- Cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia with nodular pattern, a condition of the skin characterized by a solitary or localized cluster of asymptomatic erythematous to violaceous papules or nodules[2]:725
- Cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia with bandlike and perivascular patterns, a condition of the skin characterized by skin lesions that clinically resemble mycosis fungoides[2]:726
- Jessner lymphocytic infiltrate of the skin (also known as benign lymphocytic infiltration of the skin,[1] Jessner lymphocytic infiltration of the skin, Jessner–Kanof lymphocytic infiltration of the skin, and lymphocytic infiltrate of Jessner) is a cutaneous condition characterized by a persistent papular and plaque-like skin eruption which can occur on the neck, face and back and may re-occur. This is an uncommon skin disease and is a benign collection of lymph cells. Its cause is not known and can be hereditary.[1]:1887[2]:727 It is named for Max Jessner.[3][4] It is thought to be equivalent to lupus erythematosus tumidus.[5]
